Person to person NFA transfers
I'm having some trouble finding the text of the law change from a few years back that prohibited face to face private sales of long guns. And the information online seems inconsistent.
Has anyone done this process with MSP after the change?Do you need to do a 77r for long gun private sales within MD now and then the transfer at an FFL or MSP barracks?
EDIT: I suppose I should clarify that I am completely familiar with the process we have had to do for decades now on person to person pistol and regulated firearm sales. I am also completely familiar with the process of buying suppressors from a dealer, and Form 1'ing SBRs, suppressors, etc. What I'm asking is: the last time I did a face to face rifle sale in MD was prior to the law requiring a background check for that. It was a non-regulated, bolt-action rifle. He showed me his MD state ID, handed me cash, I handed him a rifle and wished him good day. Now, we would need to go to an FFL to process this, or possibly an MSP Barracks as I've read on MDShooters. I'm asking if anyone has done a sale like this since the law has passed, and if so, what paperwork did you need to fill out at the MSP Barracks?
The second part of the question directly relates to the change of an NFA tax stamp now costing $0. Prior to that, it was generally unfeasible to sell an NFA item, but doable if you were ok taking the money hit. In a freer state an individual (or trust) can sell their NFA regulated item to another individual (or trust), intrastate, reasonably easy since it's all e-filed and there's no stamp cost. My question is whether there are additional Maryland state regulations on top of that specifically relating to an NFA item so that once the new Form 4 is approved, you'd still have to do the transfer at a barracks or FFL?
When the law changed regarding private long gun transfers, did that have encompassing enough language to cover suppressors? Are they considered "regulated firearms" by the state of Maryland?
